YOU ARE SO AWESOME

Taiko no Tatsujin?

Not really a bongo though. More like a Taiko.

The implosion happened because someone entered the Konami code that made the sub about 50 times more heavy

The F710 isn't without its faults. It uses potentiometers in the joysticks instead of Hall effect or TMR. Stick drift kills.

Yeah this is how I play GTA

Honestly doesn't matter the build, by mid game you're gonna be tough enough to handle some aiming imperfection. Late game you're practically a God.

I can hot swap in cyberpunk. Im just saying I relate to the content of the OP.

Yeah it took me a couple of weeks and basically trying a bunch of options to get used to it.. as well as playing multiple games with pretty different mechanics so I could essentially practice for all of them. Though now I have the opposite issue where I can't get used to analog stick aim lol.. which isn't a major issue for me as I don't own any systems where I'd have to deal with it, but it does have some sort of irony about it :3

I've not played splatoon, but I know a lot of players there use gyro :3.. and nintendo in general is more gyro forward than playstation (and xbox is not even in the convo lol). I play on PC these days cause it's nice being able to set up my controller how I want with third party input remappers, feels a lot less limited :3

There's a lot of controllers I see people using for gyro :3 gamesir and 8bitdo ones seem popular, and there's also the inputlabs ones.. oh and the steam controller of course, as well as the switch pro controller since you mentioned just the joycons :3

I mean, I've not tried any of them (including joycons and the dual sense, I have a dualshock 4 lol) so I can't say how the gyro on them is, but those are the ones I see people use, so they're at least decent I imagine

Yeah, but mrs_bereavement loves it.

?

It’s for people living with physical disabilities, not for you.

Yeah I played the hell out of games like Need For Speed Hot Pursuit and Porsche Unleashed on keyboard, and I don't miss the tapping. Analog sticks aren't perfect but they're so much better than on/off keys IMO.

You're absolutely right.
Meanwhile, TrackMania pros:

You have to do that tapping shit to keep the car straight. Also the accelerator is either 0 or 100.

If you can't do PWM with your fingers, then that's a skill issue :)

Analog switches have gotten downright affordable on keyboards these days, for what it's worth. I saw one for $70 the other day. I'll try and find a link if anyone is interested.

Hall Effect keyboards are available.

Sure:

MissMikkaa beat two instances of Elden Ring simultaneously, one on controller, and the other on a dance pad. I feel like someone will manage to do it with anything at this point.

I think he's talking about the specific keyboard pictured, in which case, yes, that one very much does suck.

If the person you’re replying to is older than 30, this wasn’t the case for a good portion of their life. The family computer might have had some games on it, but mostly you fired up the console with its special built controller to play games

Just a question, where is this response coming from? I'm just wondering, did you read what I said or did you read what you wanted to hear?

Because it's absolutely bizarre to be "bro whatted" and lectured about controllers working on a PC as though I said it wasn't possible. In fact, to clear things up, when I play games, I play on PC and I use a controller for it.

This, I use an Xbox series x controller (Microsoft) on my Linux gaming PC. Works well. xpadneo driver

Are consoles cheaper than PC?

today, mostly, but in the past they used to be much cheaper than pc's. in the 90s a new 486 with a graphics card and hdd could be $1500, plus display. a SNES was $200. adjust both of those prices wildly upward for inflation.

Certainly when I was big into gaming, yes. Pretty much the only people I knew who had PCs at home were folks with very solidly middle to upper middle class careers. They were essentially business tools and luxury items for well off people.

Where as most of the kids who were into video games, even some of us poor / lower-middle class kids, had at least one of the major gaming consoles. Like $100 - $200 for the consoles, and "computers" were often 10 times that price or more. Plus there was a second hand market for consoles, where as the second hand market for PC/computers was very limited.

Typing and playing games use keyboards in vastly different ways

Coincidentally, I find your "hot take" to be super incredibly bizarre in a poor reading comprehension kind of way. Do you know what words mean? Do you understand context?
